About the P14 Code Range
The ICD-10 code P14 covers injuries to the peripheral nervous system that occur during birth. These codes are used to identify and classify specific nerve injuries sustained as a result of birth trauma.
This section includes detailed codes such as P14.0 for Erb's paralysis, also known as Erb-Duchenne palsy or brachial plexus palsy due to birth trauma, involving upper brachial plexus nerve damage. P14.1 refers to Klumpke's paralysis, affecting the lower brachial plexus, commonly called Klumpke-Déjerine paralysis. P14.2 is for phrenic nerve paralysis linked to birth injury, impacting breathing control. Other brachial plexus injuries fall under P14.3, while P14.8 is used for birth injuries to other peripheral nerves like the laryngeal nerve. When the injury details are not specified, P14.9 applies. These codes help medical coders and healthcare professionals accurately document and treat nerve injuries resulting from birth complications, ensuring precise recording of conditions like traction injuries or paralysis caused by birth trauma.
